    Shafikov wins by stoppage in my opinion.

    McCloskeys hand down style obviously worked for him at some point but he is 32 years old and to me it looks like he is slowing down and so are those reflexes.

    Haha that was embarrassing I agree, I do think Corley is a LOT better than his record suggests though, he's a tough fight for almost anyone.

    But yeah McCloskey was pure **** that night, in fact I think he got a beating off Prescott as well and the Khan fight....**** knows what he was doing.

    He's much, MUCH slower than he was, Prescott and Corley threw some very telegraphed shots that it seemed like he didnt even try to avoid at times. and at least after the Khan fight he complained, during the whole fight with Corley and even after the stoppage he was very "meh" about the whole thing.

    I agree jcairns Corley still has something left in him, but I feel the McCloskey who battered Lynes (in ten days notice) would have handled him and Shafikov, because he seemed to care and had a bit of fire in him then, dunno who that guy was in with Corley
